Photo of a 12-century round tower (i.e. looks like a lighthouse) at the Clonmacnoise monastic site, its pointy roof a later restoration, it is built from stone blocks and has tiny thin windows with carved arch-tops to them, some green ivy climbs the tower and an adjoining wall

A round tower at Clonmacnoise, which I post mainly to encourage a (re)reading of Seamus Heaney’s ‘Lightenings VIII’

“The annals say: when the monks of Clonmacnoise
Were all at prayers inside the oratory
A ship appeared above them in the air.”

Painted during the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era of the 1930s, this scene reflects a broader American Regionalist interest in everyday life and community during the Great Depression. The Federal Art Project supported thousands of artists and encouraged depictions of local environments and ordinary people, sustaining artists while documenting American social landscapes. Born in Louisville and raised in Nashville, American artist Meyer R. Wolfe often depicted working-class and African American life in the city and the experiences he observed around him. In “The Conversation,” the simple act of two women talking beside a clothesline becomes quietly symbolic of domestic labor, neighborhood connection, and shared resilience he witnessed during the difficult Jim Crow era. Two Black women stand together in a yard beside a clothesline heavy with freshly washed garments. Their bodies lean slightly toward each other as if absorbed in quiet conversation. They are placed near the center of the composition, their dark silhouettes contrasted against the lighter cloth that hangs in soft shapes behind them. A wooden fence and modest buildings frame the space, while a church steeple rises in the background against a dim, evening sky. The setting suggests an ordinary residential neighborhood (likely Nashville, where the artist grew up). The women’s posture and proximity emphasize intimacy and trust rather than spectacle. We observe the moment almost as a passerby might, catching a private exchange at the end of the day. This painting was included in the Frist Art Museum’s survey exhibition “The Art of Tennessee,” where it illustrated Jewish American Wolfe’s role in portraying regional life in the American South.

I think Jackie Brown is the more iconic moving sidewalk music intro bc she starts hauling ass at the end near the gate. I never been on a moving sidewalk in life that I didn't act like it was a treadmill I had to outrun.

Atardecer, diciembre, 2018

Stormy sunset over the Collegiate Peaks in Colorado. The top of the peaks are covered in snow. The clouds appear to open up to the western sky as the bottom of the clouds appear to be on fire.

The peaks have a bit of snow on them while the clouds open up to a little peek of the far western sky. The base of the clouds appear to be on fire from the setting sun.

New Wave bands try to avoid boredom.

With the biggest early splash in local pages in this Tim Carr preview of Talking Heads at the Longhorn, published in the Minneapolis Tribune Oct. 21, 1977, shortly after his Flamingo writeup.

A moody, grainy photo of a streetlight partially obscured by tree branches. In the immediate foreground is the curve of a car windshield reflecting the light. The photo is shades of blue, and there's a distorted quality to the photo caused by the fog and the extremely low quality camera on my phone. It almost looks like it was taken underwater.

Look, my camera may be a potato-based phone tonight, but it can still capture a vibe
